  3. Cook the Vegetables
    In the same pan, add bell pepper and carrot. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine and Toss
    Return the beef to the pan. Stir in hoisin, soy, and oyster sauce. Add the cooked noodles and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Finish & Serve
    Drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro, and serve hot.

Tips for Perfect Hoisin Beef Noodles

  • Slice beef thinly for the most tender bites.
  • Use high heat to quickly sear the beef and keep veggies crisp.
  • Customize your veggies – mushrooms, bok choy, snow peas, or broccoli are great options.
  • Add spice with chili flakes or a drizzle of sriracha if you like heat.

How to Store & Reheat

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet with a splash of water or broth to loosen the noodles.
  • Not freezer-friendly, as noodles may become mushy after thawing.
